A new compact vacuum cleaner from Xiaomi also known as the Mini vacuum cleaner. In this video I do some quick fire testing, I look at the suction/cleaning performance, run times, battery capacity/charging time and give you some of my thoughts using this cleaner for an extended period of time. Do note the European version seems to have a single power mode (at a mid level), the one shown here is from China.

After all this time, how it holds up? Still good? The battery, the filter?
@@StefanAlexandruGeogloman No problems, I have bought a new filter though as over time it blocks up, even though it's washable. I got a 2 pack from Aliexpress. Battery is fine so far
Was looking for this device and this is the most complete and well done review on the whole UA-cam. Thanks 👍
No problem 👍 Thanks for the comment appreciate it
This video is a good example of the prefect way to review such products!!
Well done bro keep it up and keep it going.
Thanks a ton I try my best to keep it short but pack in as much as I can
Thank you. This kind of product review is what we need more of. To the point, fairly technical, crystal clear, not biased, and a simple comparison. Bravo to you, sir.
Thank you for your kind words. It took a while to make all the segments (probably more than most think). I did try to get as much as I could in, in a short time period without missing anything and showing it up close too. So hopefully it's proved useful to viewers.
@@MrBazReviews Well, useful enough to convince me to order one yesterday. I hope the missus will appreciate it as much as I plan to.
What a powerful machine! It's amazing how when you turn it off, the whole thing twists cause of the momentum. I bet the motor is brushless.
Anyway, I used it around the house and it's pretty darn cool, lots of power packed into a handy device. Charging time for me, from zero to full, was around an hour 10 minutes, pretty decent I'd say. Yeah, that nozzle brush is a bit small, but hey, it fits the whole size ratio. My wife nagged at first, cause she thought it's another gimmicky gadget, but she came around after a few demos.
This looks cool, been thinking of investing in something like this for a while as I'm sick of dragging the big vacuum out for small spills,
Hope your all good, stay safe as always.
All good here it's not perfect but useful for around the house/car. No torches in yet all done, but might be in a few weeks! Keep well thanks for the support
best review ever seen on youtube and anywhere else!
Thanks I spent a while doing it small piece by piece, trying to keep it short and informative!
Great report. I've found that most handheld vacs are not self emptying. Disassembly required. But you did show me what I needed to know. Great for the car or a keyboard with the USB charge. You could KEEP it in the car and charge from there.
It's useful and performs well, but with some quirks. Unless you're cleaning up wood chippings or large bits, it's def not one touch cleaning, the dust picks up and compresses so you'll have to remove it and brush it off/pick it out. That's what I've found using it quite a lot. Also the inner filter needs to be kept clean frequently, very fine dust builds up - so once a week I'd say a good clean off, wash maybe once a month. It is handy though and the type C is very welcomed, charge in car and small enough to take with you. Dustbuster was no good for that, mains charging only. Overall I like it though I would tweak a few things
I bought one because of this review. I was not disappointed! :)
this is my favorite toy for my car now
I use it a lot it's very useful to have around, just have to keep the filters clean I wash them out every couple of weeks
this is what I call a good real tested review. Got my like. thank you!
Thank you very much I appreciate it, very kind...
Thank you very much for your video :) Clear, objective, impartial. I appreciate
Thanks very much, I try to make it to the point and what's good, or not as good!
outstanding review, attention to detail. thx
Thanks I tried to compact as much into 5 mins ish as I could, without skipping useful stuff, appreciate the comment
@@MrBazReviews And more, well done, your the best on you tube
@@derekgillan7314 Very kind of you to say that, I'm still a small fish in a big pond, but I do keep trying!
Thank you brother….. most wanted handy vaccum
Love you videos and cityofpixels Dubai
My pleasure, thank you. Dubai is a great place, perhaps one day I might get to see it!
Nice thanks for helping. Good review. Liked.
No problem 👍 Thanks for commenting appreciate it
This is a great video; thank you for making this. Does the HEPA filter need replacing, and if Mi sells a filter? Thanks!
I've not replaced it I just wash it out every few weeks, you have to keep it clean ie brush if off regularly. I assume you can get replacements but it is washable
There was a flash sale on their website and I grabbed two at 53€. I hope it will be good enough to use it in the car. Thank you for the review
I use it a lot and am happy with the performance, often for cleaning the car works well for me
Like your review
Glad you enjoyed it
great review
I try my best I think it's fairly useful! Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the helpful video. Is there a compatible floor or upholstery attachment?
Not that I know of, it's their own design ones I have don't fit it, smaller than normal cleaner sizes on this one.
amazing review very concise covering everything thanks mate
Thanks for that, seems to be quite popular with viewers. I try to show as much as I can, but in a short time frame. Most people prefer that!
Well this is... different...
Now I want you to review a bunch of Xiaomi ecological products because your reviews are always detailed. A lot of them are great too
I will try my best, what happens is banggood email once in a while and I ask for something Xiaomi to break things up a bit, vary the content more. People are also interested in the brand, and I have some viewers from the far east where it's also popular India etc. If you have any specific ideas let me know and I can see next time I am in touch with them.
@@MrBazReviews well, what kind of products are you interested? Xiaomi has a lot of ecological brand but I'm not sure how many of them are actually sold at Banggood
They _do_ have brands that make flashlight such as Nextool, Beebest, ZMI, Solove, etc though not as good as renowned brands that you usually do. In fact nowhere near as close
@@aggaviriyo790 I will have a browse around. I wanted to not just do torches as I already get them in, otherwise I'd get bored of constantly doing the same type of videos. So I usually ask banggood for xiaomi as they are quite interesting. The phone review area is pretty crowded, I've done a few but it's hard to make an impact (and to be honest it's more about camera than performance these days).
So it comes down to other gadgets, this just caught my eye as something different - new content and possibly of interest, and yes I was also interested a bit in it myself. As it turns out I am using it a lot, quite useful even if there are a few things I would change. I will have a think and browse for other Xiaomi items, I'm not specific I've looked at different products over the years. On balance I have mostly liked their end results, minor faults aside.
@@MrBazReviews then you're in for a treat. They offer a lot of great stuff, really. They make a lot of great products but a lot of them are underexposed. Have fun browsing around!
Thanks for review, can you use this while charging?
The video is short it covers everything
I was looking for a portable vacuum for my car and landed here. Thanks for the review, it's very clear but do you think this is the best one for car? Or do you recommend any other product?
I'm mostly using it for car cleaning, I have no major complaints it's working much better than the black and decker one, lasts longer and more powerful.
How long does the battery last when fully charged?
Also, can you buy the parts separately?
I have no idea on parts a run time test is very clearly shown (for both power levels)
Hello my friend, do you recommend that I buy this product or is there a better product?
Seems to be pretty good, I'm not expert on vacuum cleaners but it does a decent job
Wish you tested if it was a sealed hepa system. If it has a hepa filter and it's not as sealed as it says it is, you'll end up making more dust. As someone with allergies, sealed hepa tests are what I look for in vacuum reviews.
Curious how you would suggest I make a hepa filter test that is accurate and measures what you want? I have to work with what I have, I make practical reviews, no fluff and to the point.
Hi there mate,..can u use it while its charging?
Unfortunately no as shown in the video
How do you change suction power of the machine ? I press twice but power seems to be the same ? Answer would be highly appreciated
It won't hit turbo if the charge isn't high enough
@@MrBazReviews Thanks Boss !!!
Is this good for removing/sucking dust and mini dust that are living on my desk, mouse and keyboard?
That's what I use it for, just put it on the turbo power and it does quite well
@@MrBazReviews thanks for the reply!
I'm displeased with non-functional flap which is stuck in short time when cleaning bigger dirt particles or fur / hair. Also no chance to get spare brush or nozzle. Brush gets worn very fast. However, those pros mentioned are true. Original filter does a great job. Also EU version has only one speed option.
I wasn't aware the EU version was different what speed is it? The flap can be caught, I clean it out via tweezers, but it's a design oversight I think. It does perform well though, and it's working well. The filters can be bought, I replaced it once (you can wash it quite a few times but it does need replacing)
@@MrBazReviews No idea what speed (RPM) is. I guess something between eco and turbo mode since it works like 15 minutes in average. The spring operated flap also needs some lubrication from time to time since the spring just somehow gets stuck even after removing dirt.
I didnt speak about filters - those are no prob to obtain (also original ones definitely are worth the price), but the brush itself and the plastic extension tube between intake and brush. If somebody breaks it, no chance to buy spare one.
how do you guys turn it to turbo ? I seem to only have one option. fyi I have the EU model.
Quick double press
It seems that EU model doesn't have turbo mode. I've tried quick double press and isn't working...
Thanks for the review - good work their! Does this not come with any kind of wall mount? That's pretty disappointing and not very neat in my opinion. USB-C port is okay - if I were given the option to just have a wall mount for it that charges it like any small vacuum I have seen in the past 20 years. I would mainly use it in the kitchen and I would want it to be stored tidy and always ready and not mess around with charging it in a different room with a USB cable.
All that's included is shown ie not much bar the cleaner and the extender/brush and cable. I'm not aware of a mount, not for this one. The larger bigger model has one I believe. Honestly I've never mounted the Black and Decker and that came with one, but I can see some would like it - and it helps top up the charge too. I'm not sure if there are any third party mounts out there.
Is it still working?i was looking replacement since my mine DSPIAE is broken only after a few months of use...not much
It still works, but I probably need to replace the filter
@@MrBazReviews ok man,thx for info,cant wait to arrive
How do you know if its fully charged?? I have the same vacuum.
The light flashes when charging, it stops when it has finished. It goes out after a while if it's stopped charging
hello, does yours still works? planning to get this vacuum soon.
It is working fine, I replaced the filter after about 12 months
Can you run it at the same time while it is charging?
Nope
Can it be used while it's plugged in and charging? The battery may be too short but it'd be great if it can still be used while plugged in if the battery dies.
This is covered in the video no you can't sadly
The reason it can't do that is that it's too powerful. In turbo mode it can drain in 9 minutes. It's 10.8V-12.6V, 3X 2000mAh cells, 4.2V fully charged 3.6V empty. For it to deplete that in 9 minutes is beyond what a typical cheap USB-C charger can provide to run it in real time.
@@darwiniandude Who said it had to run in Turbo? People ask I provided the information, even though I mention it people still ask!
How do you make it work so strong? When I press the button, it just goes on, when I press it again, it goes off. No second power level.
If the battery is low it won't hit the top power level, charge it fully
@@MrBazReviews I have charged it fully. Turns out that I have EU version which has only 1 power level :(
@@Iwitrag I wasn't aware of that strange
does it have a blower mode?
No not on this one
When will they have a newer version?
From what I see it's not that old, they do larger ones, but for portable hand held this one seems mostly to be quite good. They could possibly add some longer brush attachments, otherwise it's pretty solid performance
@@MrBazReviews Thanks for getting back to you.
Yes, I need a mini one. I'm just not sure if they would invent a new one every year?
Welp, what a excellent review, really attention to detail Maybe next time u would give some background so the video will be more interesting
Noted! However I did poll viewers a while back on background music, and over 90% said no music. I think it can be overdone, perhaps it is best to not add it based on that
@@MrBazReviews thanks for replying my comment, even though there's no bgm i still like ur videos 👍 keep it up
@@MrBazReviews by the way, do you have a problem with the battery? And do you have a way to change the battery on this vacuum? Mine just arrived today, and i am confused cuz there's no screw on this thing for me disassemble it and change the battery in the future
@@grey7045 I've not attempted to take it apart, I am sure there is a way, otherwise don't worry about it use it should last for years.
In an ideal world we would have access to batteries on all devices (look at notebooks now all built in). You can thank Apple for this!
@@MrBazReviewsSubscribed!, Thank you for your explanation, i hope xiaomi gave a heavy duty battery on this vacuum
What type of battery? Li ion or Ni-MH?
Li-ion
can someone help me? because my mi vacuum always shut down after few seconds, even it is full charge.
Clean the filter out
@@MrBazReviews thanks for this tip, didnt know there was a second filter in there, mine works again now after cleaning it :)
@@paoc4818 I brush it off say once a week, and wash it couple of weeks or so. It really needs to be kept clean as it can block up. Not a big problem just regular clean out will make it work
Hi, can anybody help me out. It seems that my vacuum cleaner doesnt have 2nd gear. I bought this yesterday maybe it is a new series. Anybody?
Evidently the European ones have a mid speed only (not low or turbo)
@@MrBazReviews Thanks a lot :)
Hi, can this be use for cleaning (vacuuming) TV or gaming console vents?
Yes works well I use it for that all the time and keyboards etc
@@MrBazReviews Thank you.
This looks great for car.
I use it for the car quite a bit and around the house for spot cleaning
Wider tip wouldn't help, the minis are just for small inconveniences or messes and usually even too weak even for that, how ever tech has come far. Cleaning the keyobard seems actually smart, won't blow dust or dirt into the air, don't use it on PC though. Supposedly might create static and break components. Old ones for sure.
I think the smaller tip creates more suction power, but I'd like a somewhat larger one. It is quite useful I still have it and use it just replace the filter every 12 months
looks like longer bristles for the razor keyboards too and it need to have a blower as well
I doubt you will get enough blower power to make it worthwhile. Probably better off using a rocket blower, which I do for many things
It’s been 2hrs and it’s still flashing… is it really that slow at charging?
Nvm apparently It is…
Would it be better to use its own charger to charge? (apparently rated at 10W) I’m currently using a old Samsung fast charger which is 15W
@@Zatob It only charges slowly even with different cables and adapters. Think 500mA
Can you use it while charging?
2:41
Dreame V11...? Maybe?👀
Maybe they can improve a few things in a Vii
@@MrBazReviews I was reffering to their big vacuum cleaner, Dreame V11. Supposedly, they are like affordable Dyson
@@aggaviriyo790 Oh I see I had a look yes they are not cheap, but not as expensive as Dyson. I would imagine they are pretty good, I have used a few Dyson's and I'm not sure I'd pay the asking price (good marketing IMO but the product is overpriced)
It’d be nice if this actually has cyclonic separation system…
Even Dyson's have to have a filter at some point, that also need cleaning. This one does need regular cleaning, so perhaps you have a point, though space is fairly limited here!
I don't like that Xiaomi recommends to replace the HEPA filter once every 3 months.
It's washable I've used it for over 4 months with no issue
Does xiaomi sell HEPA filter for this model on their website ?
@@thibaut35 I don't know but I don't see why need it? It can be washed as I show I've not had any problems with it at all it should last for years
Ya no prende?
Contact the seller I can't troubleshoot online
But is it still working? Looks like you use the hell out of yours in the house as opposed to an occasional car clean. Has the battery failed like many negative Amazon reviews?
TIA
Edit; does it look like you could disassemble it to get to a battery at some point in the future?
I've not attempted to take it apart, I still use it and it is working without issue. I use it in the house and cleaning the car. So far no issues to report
@@MrBazReviews reassuring, thanks for the reply. One has been ordered for the Tesla :)
@@ibsn87 The battery should last for years, but yes it would be better if you had easy access to it. Still I like this and find it quite useful
@@MrBazReviews for sure. If it’s a lipo pouch cell, and stored at 100% all the time it’s likely going to last 2 years at best before noticeable degradation. - much like a mobile phone.
If it’s 18650 liion cylinder cells it’s much less likely to catch fire and should last much longer.
Interesting. I hope it’s the latter and I hope I can repair it when it does go, so many things are being glue assembled these days. Literally should be illegal, nothing spells planned obsolescence then non replaceable batteries... I’m not one to throw something out because of battery failure.
I have purchased and now waiting for mine to arrive. But there’s def lots of negative reviews around terrible (
@@ibsn87 I wonder if it's shutting off due to the filter blocking up. You have to clean it regularly, and I also wash it. If it blocks up and there isn't enough airflow, it will shut off and flash red. That sounds a lot more likely, than the battery being worn out. Even 50% wear it would run longer than that much longer. You do have to clean the filter properly, hence I think that is why there might be negative reviews blocked filter.
this is probably 120W version, there is also 40W version
I'll check to see
@@MrBazReviews the 40W version doesn’t have turbo mode
@@Zatob Right good to know
The thumbnail made me think it was a female fun times toy haha.
Lol I had thought that and a few people mentioned it!
A lot ot interruptions for the needing to clean up the filter, in my opinion not very useful to clean dust
No other way is there, any cleaner without a filter isn't going to be useful. All filters will clog up over time.
@@MrBazReviews yeah but this vacuum demands to clean up the filter like 3 minutes after you started, at least for me is doing it in that way, I even washed the filter and wait it to be fully dry.
@@eduardo-1822 I don't know how long you had it but I replaced the filter after about 9-10 months. Very fine particles like ash/sanded paint etc clog is very quickly. Normal dust not so much
Bought this for my car. It's propably going to take forever to charge from car USB...
Some have said it charges a bit faster, but I tried various cables and power sources and got similar results. If you keep it topped up that works fairly well (ie give it a charger after using it)
looks like my orbit braUn toothbrush🤣
lol
I'm am totaly dissapointed by this product. It just don't suck :( I thick I will return that
I've found it good, suction is decent enough for the size I use it all the time. There are two power levels the turbo is pretty good on suction
Chinese always do this.. make a good product for 90% and don't finish up the last 10%.. really strange people.. (says the dutch guy haha )
Yeah I agree they didn't quite get there, still a respectable offering despite some flaws
@@MrBazReviews WHAT DDI THEY DO BAD?
@@makkeyn At the end my pros and cons spell it out, it's subjective
That's because the 10% will make the price rise 50%... it's all a balance between price and quality, and for the price I'd say it really good given the specs
How do you put on turbo mode?
It's a double press, but evidently the European version doesn't have a "Turbo" mode
The one I show here was sent from China
Can you run it at the same time while it is charging?
No it won't run when charging
